I know. The story was broken by the LAPD and then Reddit, tmz, twitter etc picked up on that -- RS anneboleyn Oct 2017 #17

People can judge her after THEIR loved one is reported dead in the media without confirmation. Coventina Oct 2017 #23

it was widely reported Skittles Oct 2017 #27

Probably because it's a music magazine, and should probably make doubley sure Coventina Oct 2017 #30

Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to sit in judgment. Coventina Oct 2017 #34

they tried to get confirmation Skittles Oct 2017 #35

"Trying" doesn't cut it in journalism. n/t Coventina Oct 2017 #39
